Abstract:The application of microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) is a biological approach to enhance growing high amounts of electroactive biofilm for extracellular electron transfer. The electroactive biofilm degrades the organics by oxidizing them at the anode and producing electric energy. The addition of waste-activated sludge (WAS) with fat grease oil (FOG) produces an optimal reactor environment for microbial growth to enhance the exchange of electrons between cells via microbial electrolysis. The novel study inves… Show more
